Why do some people experience more pain than others? Part of the answer might be a person's sex. This week co-editor Lindsay Ejoh writes about the research on sex differences in pain, with a discussion of the differences between sex and gender and how most studies have treated this. She then dives into the biological and psychosocial factors that could explain these differences with a look toward the future of what other research should be done.
